Question

The number of chromatids at metaphase is

• A. Two each in mitosis and meiosis
• B. Two in mitosis and one in meiosis
• C. Two in mitosis and four in meiosis
• D. One in mitosis and two in meiosis

Answer 1

The correct option is A)

Meiosis II follows the same division of mitosis, except that there are only half as many chromosomes. so, the 23 chromatid pairs from the previous cells split equally, so each daughter gets 23 chromatids exactly, which correspond to 23 chromosomes.

So, the correct option is 'Two in mitosis and one in meiosis'.
